Hong Kong 1941
1983, 96 minutes, Rated R
With a powerful ensemble cast including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" star Chow Yun-Fat and acclaimed actress Cecilia Yip-Tong, director Po Chieh-Leong delivers an emotive and hard-hitting portrayal of the lives of three young friends, as they struggle to keep their dignity and fulfil their dreams, when faced with the emotional and physical terrors of war.
Dealing with the rarely considered Japanese occupation of Hong Kong from December 1941 to August 1945, this acclaimed action-drama shines a light on the harrowing effects of a conflict which shattered the dreams of a nation during almost four years of bitter repression.
Colourful and compelling with breath-taking cinematography, Hong Kong 1941 is a poignant action-drama with luminous characteristics and striking moral undertones, which serves as an enlightened celebration of the triumphant resilience of the human spirit!
